Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Here's the Ruckus: French 100 Years War

 So Wargames Illistrated had a free set of rules in their issue 433 called Here’s the Ruckus. That was back in January or February in 2024 and I have basically just discovered it. You can of course get the rules by buying the issue or go to Wargames Illustrated (click on this link) and buy the rules and/or download all the freebies. I also watched a play through on 7th Son YouTube channel that was a fun watch and listen.

The game is inspired and influenced by Never Mind the Billhooks, but it is not a direct expansion to this game and the Ruckus rules are standalone, requiring a far smaller investment in miniatures (just twelve per-side). 

This past week I painted up my first retinue of 100 Years War French, and later this week will paint up an English one. Pretty sure none of my friends will invest into this but I’ve always had a fancy for the period and so will trudge along and put on games or just play solo (even though I never solo but always say I will). Anyways enjoy the pics.







As always thanks for looking.


Cheers
Kevin
